Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department provides to people with UK job offers who are awaiting a decision by her Department on a UK visa.

General guidance on completing application forms is found on the Home Office website at How to apply for a visa to come to the UK: Choose a visa - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

Customers will be contacted directly if it is discovered that further documentation or evidence is required to support their applications.

Provided that the application form has been completed and all pertinent information included, then normally the next contact from the Home Office is after we have processed the application and issued a decision letter to the applicant.

Details on visa processing times and explanations as to why the application may take longer to process than expected are published on the Home Office website at: Visa decision waiting times - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). These are updated on a regular basis to make the customer aware of any changes that may affect their applications, such as when Ukrainian applications were prioritised recently.
